Oklahoma friends! Check in!

Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 10:29 PM by Whoa_Nelly

Talked with best friend in OKC, and she said her yard near Council and NW 122nd looked like this!

And all you beautiful DU'ers in Arkansas and Texas!

And am sure other surronding states are getting hit hard tonight!

Check in! :pals:

Read that Texas had to close roads (in the panhandle, I thnk...) because of blowing dust.

1. it's blowing about 50mph here but no precip

i knew it was coming though, so everything was battened down and the wind is easing up now

sorry for the folks further east, they are getting hammered

6. Have heard winds across the Rocky Plains region have been terrific

Early!!!

Yes, storms like this can occur anytime of year, but this one's a real doozy for being so early.

Take care! :hi: :loveya: :hug:

2. I'm sitting here in North Texas waiting for IT.

However, IT looks like it's going to pass north of me.

I'm still thinking about boxing the cats and preparing to take cover in the closet.

4. That kind of weather can change in a heartbeat

Grew up in OKC and Central MN.

Wicked skies tonight, for sure!

might be good to box up the cats until the watch or alert is over.
(What time is it over?)

Glad you have a plan and a 'fraidy hole! :hug:

10. Huh ...

Damn storm tore up crap near my old apartment. Not sure if it got the apartment itself, but one of the shopping areas I went to, just around the corner, is toast.

Guess I'm glad I moved after all.
